About Me

Welcome to the new, and improved version of Heaven in Belgium.
I am Jientje. "Jientje", like the boys name Gene, followed by "chu"? "Gene-chu", that's how you pronounce my name.
Yes!!!!That's it!! So now you know huh?
I am an addicted blogger.
I was born and raised and am still living in Belgium. Yeah, the "this-is- Tuesday-so-this-must-be-Brussels" kind of Belgium .. There, you see? Maybe you couldn't find it on the map, but at least I'm trying to change that a little by sharing lots of pictures.
I really love to cook and create new things, like this blog for instance.
I am a mother, not a grandmother,I don't know if I'll ever be, but I'll let you know in due time! Oh and um ... I am a wife too!
They say I'm a traveler, and a photographer. Well that's just what they say, I love to make pictures, but I am far from professional ...
If my English is not perfect, that would be because it's my second language. I do hope you'll forgive me any possible misspellings or strange vocabulary ...
Now, as a result of all of the above,
I get way too little sleep and my days are always much too short!

Amai!For what it's worth, it's a very pretty shot...goes great with my farm post.I hope you're okay thoguh and I'm sorry to hear about the camera. When Hans' broke he wasn't happy either. Fortunately we still have mine, although it's not as good as his was.

Oh...I'm so sorry. I live in fear of dropping my camera in water. Perhaps if you take the lense off and let is sit for a day it may dry out. I would try bringing it to a camera repair/cleaning place and seeing what they can do.

I just have to share a portion of Jientje email to me about this yesterday: I fell into a ditch while taking pictures and I ruined my camera. I guess I took "frog's perspective" a little too literal!I got soaking wet, but so did my camera. There's water in the lens, and I don't think it can be fixed.And now I can't even comment on your posts!!

I'm off to bed, enough is enough!

I"m sorry to hear all of this but it gave me a chuckle and I hope you get your camera fixed. Good that you are taking some time off :) And the main thing is your oaky :)

Ohhhhhhhh I am soooo sorry. You and Quilly and I are a sorry lot when it comes to cameras and computers... HOW do these things keep happening??? I'm glad you're okay though... that ditch could have done mOre damage - it really could!

I am glad that a few sore muscles are the only damage you did to yourself. Hopefully your camera can be repaired. May the camera Gods smile on you. That was your nice new camera wasn't it? That is sad.

@ Korie: I still have my small one, but it's not the same.@ Mar: no, I'm fine thank you.@ Rosidah: I hope so too.@ Quilly: you've been there too, haven't you?@ Hip chick: I am taking it to the shop this morning, yes. The water has dried out, but there is a hideous stain inside the lens.@ NicoleB: I will but the shop was closed yesterday.@ Lou: I am practising with my husband's Canon 40D, but it's a different world all together!@ Libby: That's so sweet of you!@ Avril: I will this morning, but the shop was closed.@ Kirsti: I am. I miss it so much it hurts.@ Thom: At least your comment section on your blog is fixed now! I'm so sick and tired of leprechauns and gremlins giving me a hard time!@ Jan: replaceable, yes, I know, but I so love that camera ...@ Gattina: I know. It's terrible.@ Melli: It happened all so fast. I should have watched where I was going! The picture would have been brilliant though!@ Nessa: It has dried out, and it's alive again. But there is a dreadful stain on that lens now. I hope they can clean it!@ Christine: Yes, it was my nice new camera. I hope the gods will be nice to me. Really, I do!

Glad you weren't hurt. At my age falls always break something. The camera is probably a loss. Water got into the electronics. There are some cameras out there that are made to be dropped in water but most aren't.I read a blog today that blamed all the weird things that were happening on the position of the planet Mercury. If that helps any.
